Hunter Biden appears in Arkansas court for hearing in child support case of 4-year-old daughter
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, appeared in person in an Arkansas courtroom Monday for a hearing in the child support case of his unclaimed 4-year-old daughter born out of wedlock.
Lunden Roberts, the mother of 4-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, had reached an agreement with Hunter Biden in 2020 for the child's paternity and child support payments.
The case was reopened when Biden requested adjustments to the child support payments. In December, Roberts's lawyers filed a motion to have the girl's last name changed to Biden.
During Monday's hearing, Biden's new attorney, Abbe Lowell, said the president's son is paying $20,000 a month to the plaintiff. — FOX News
Our Take: “The walls continue to close in on Hunter Biden.” — AbsoluteTruth1776
Another Take: “Absolute put it more succinctly, but I don’t think there’s anything reductive about the ongoing drip, drip exposure of Hunter news we’re seeing in the media cycle. Hunter seems to be an eternal Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Biden Administration, and as we all know, Donald Trump has been seeding the Narrative with one specific question more than any other:
‘Where’s Hunter?’
I think there are many ways in which that question turns, and I think we’re going to like all of them.” — Burning Bright
SICK: North Carolina’s Leading Medical Institutions “Duke, UNC, and ECU” Offers ‘Transgender’ Treatments to 2, 3, and 4 Years Old
Leading medical institutions in North Carolina are targeting extremely young children to begin transitioning, according to investigative journalist Sloan Rachmuth.
In 2015, Duke Medicine launched the Gender Clinic to provide a comprehensive range of treatments for children as young as two for gender dysphoria.
In 2016, the clinic’s director, transgender activist Dr. Deanna Adkins, spoke with the Charlotte Observer about her transgender pediatric patients.
“They are not old enough to consciously just choose to do that. … It is not a choice in any of my patients. It’s really an unpleasant thing to have going on in your body to feel that distress about yourself. I can’t imagine anyone who would choose to do that,” said Adkins. — The Gateway Pundit
Our Take: “Three words: multibillion-dollar industry, which is to say nothing of the population control aspects of this infuriating agenda. This is just as bad as pedophilia, and any ‘medical professional’ who engages in this detestable industry should have their licenses revoked.
They sugar coat the eventual butchering of genitalia by saying that ‘Before puberty, treatment does not include any drug or surgical intervention,’ but rather they encourage ‘social transition,’ essentially setting a child up for a lifetime of confusion and suffering.
This "social transitioning" is basically grooming future customers to fuel the industry, because, if unaddressed, once that child reaches the legal age, they will most likely begin the self-destructive process of taking hormones and shelling out big bucks for predatory doctors to carve them up. The average phalloplasty costs $25,000-$35,000, and the demand for these surgeries, which almost always result in life-long complications, has skyrocketed since the cultural push and social validation engine started in earnest over the last decade.
The monetary incentives are high, but I suspect that there is an even darker agenda at play here beyond making a few bucks.” — Ryan DeLarme
CIA chief and ex-White House counsel among figures who met Epstein after his conviction, report says
The circle of global power players who continued to meet with Jeffrey Epstein after his first sex conviction was far wider than previously revealed, according to an extensive report fromThe Wall Street Journal published on Sunday.
Using source documents including Epstein’s schedules, the paper identified meetings between the disgraced financier and figures including the current director of the CIA, a former White House lawyer, a college president and a member of an international banking dynasty.
“None of their names appear in Epstein’s now-public ‘black book’ of contacts or in the public flight logs of passengers who traveled on his private jet,” the WSJ reported. “The documents show that Epstein arranged multiple meetings with each of them after he had served jail time in 2008 for a sex crime involving a teenage girl and was registered as a sex offender. The documents, which include thousands of pages of emails and schedules from 2013 to 2017, haven’t been previously reported.”
Epstein, a wealthy and well-connected New York financier, pleaded guilty in June 2008 to one count of solicitating prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from someone under the age of 18. He was released from jail the following year but, after a decade of public accusations of abuse by multiple women, was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. He died in jail weeks later and the death was ruled a suicide.
Speculation has always swirled regarding the extent of Epstein’s contacts and the nature of their interactions, and a redacted version published online in 2015 set off a flurry of explanations and denials amongst the world’s elite. The new WSJ report, however, reveals heretofore unknown contacts, some who say they “regret” their association with the sex offender or deny any knowledge of his criminal activities. — The Independent
Our Take: “I know we covered this one in Monday’s Brief, but I just honestly can’t get over how massive a seed germination this is to the Collective Mind. Getting Epstein back into the news cycle in 2023 … and attached to the Central Intelligence Agency, which can’t seem to get OUT of the news cycle in recent weeks has ghosts in the media machine written all over it.
And I think those ghosts are on our side.
One of the more interesting aspects of this story is the fact that Burns, the current Director of the Joe Biden CIA, was not in the CIA until AFTER this 2014 meeting.
That's even more of a disclosure, to me, as the order of operations is quite interesting when one reframes the Epstein-Maxwell Op as an influence operation.
Infiltration instead of invasion.
How do these folks get into the positions they do?
Answers are starting to emerge.” —Burning Bright
Federal Judge Rules That Pennsylvania School District Must Host After School Satan Club
The Satanic Temple’s children’s club is being pushed in school districts that host Christian clubs — with the full backing of the far-left American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who filed the suit on the organization’s behalf.
The Satanists argue that if the school allows one religion to host events, they must allow all.
“In a victory for free speech and religious freedom, a federal court has ruled that the Saucon Valley School District must allow the After School Satan Club to meet in district facilities,” the ACLU announced in a tweet on Monday. — The Gateway Pundit
Our Take: “For further proof that we are in a spiritual war more than anything else: A federal judge has ruled that Pennsylvania must allow Satanic after-school clubs.” — AbsoluteTruth1776
Woke Bar Loses Customers Defending Bud Light Transgender Ad Campaign
A dive bar in southern Indiana is begging for more customers after defending Bud Light and booting anyone being 'intolerant' following Anheuser-Busch's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvnaey.
The beer maker has received enormous backlash since the "365 Days of Girlhood" ad campaign featuring custom-made cans featuring Mulvaney's face. In response, millions of Americans have boycotted Bud Light and other Anheuser-Busch brands.
The Fairfax Bar & Grill in Bloomington, Indiana, however, is now hurting for customers after it hypocritically declared that it supports free speech - except for anyone who criticizes Anheuser-Busch or Bud Light. — ZeroHedge
Our Take: “The above was the stance the Fairfax Bar & Grill was taking from the outset of the Bud Light transgender campaign controversy. Since then, and due to increasing and vehement (not to mention, costly) backlash from their paying customers, they issued the following statement/backpedal:
"We are all aware of the controversy surrounding Bud Light. We support ALL people in this establishment no matter who you are of how you identify. We will continue to sell Anheiser [sic] Busch products because we don’t care who they make special cans for," reads the statement. "If you are intolerant of other humans of any kind, we ask that you keep your opinions to yourself. Should you feel the need to discuss this matter in public you will be asked to leave. We will not tolerate intolerance here."
Bar owner McKinley Minniefield told WISHTV: "We were just dealing with a lot of hate speech, and people being uncomfortable. My bartenders were aggravated and we had customers that were leaving."
It’s the nature of the media beast that those of us who keep abreast of world events are inundated with a lot of losses.
That said, sometimes you need to look at the Micro—in this case, patrons at an Indiana bar taking a stand for something, or rather, against something—to see how inevitable our victory over subversive globalists truly is.” — Burning Bright

"SICK: North Carolina’s Leading Medical Institutions “Duke, UNC, and ECU” Offers ‘Transgender’ Treatments to 2, 3, and 4 Years Old"
I feel somewhat qualified to speak about this. In fall, 1966, I entered The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to begin my program leading to my MA in plant taxonomy/ecology in 1969. At that time, UNC was called "The Berkeley of the East" and they had earned it. While the botany program was solid and one of the top 3-4 in the nation, the undergraduate campus was a real trip, literally and figuratively. For those who have seen "Jesus Revolution", the depiction of drug use is accurate....I remember a couple of parties which were strange in the least for me. To this day, I have never smoked, nor done elicit drugs nor been drunk, I am pleased to report, with no regrets.
During my time there, I had a TA and taught labs. It was then that the late Senator Paul Wellstone was a graduate student with a teaching fellowship. I believe he had all of his degrees from there. A true Marxist, he shut the campus down for part of a week and decreed that faculty and grad students were not allowed (by him and his goon squad) to meet our classes. I was teaching an ecology lab in the zoology building next door to the botany building. I well remember being pushed backwards down the steps by his squad and being called names I did not understand. The campus shut down. He received his PhD in spite of the honor code which the campus pretended to adhere to. I remind them of that when called for donations.
Fast forward to the 1980's. I returned in 1981 to pursue a PhD in botany (plant ecosystems). The department was still a good one. HOWEVER, the med school stepped in to gut both botany and zoology in order to bolster their own faculty numbers. They succeeded. Botany was told it was their fault for hiring people in organismal botany rather than ALL molecular/cellular. They managed to merge both departments into "biology" and weed out anything of real substance. I graduated on May 10, 1987 w/ my PhD in botany under the former good program.
NOW, my ears pricked up several years ago when I heard the names of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Peter Daszak AND....DR. RALPH BARIC, THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL. He is a part of the triumvirate in gain of function. Supposedly, when UNC found out what he was doing, they told him to quit and he moved operations to Wuhan (it surprises me that UNC did not slap him on the back and say, "well done"). In 2021, he was elected member of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences. As Trump would say, that group is another "beauty".
Nothing surprises me about The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They were "woke" before "woke" became an adhered to fad. I own a very valuable piece of property, very near the growing campus of my undergraduate institution, WVU. They are going off the cliff also. I have a new saying: "If you go 'woke', your coffers I won't stoke".
“We will not tolerate intolerance here” 🤔😳
